Micro not working

My son was cooking and burnt frozen chicken til the kitchen was full of smoke by the time he got all the smoke out of the kitchen the micro wasn't working. I checked the breaker and it wasn't tripped is there an internal fuse or did the angel ruin my microwave?

No most likely the little angel didn't ruin it. Remove the cabinet and you will find a 10 to 15 amp fuse connected in line with where the power cord comes into the back of the microwave. Be careful that you make sure power is off and be careful you don't touch the capacitor it could be charged. But the fuse just usually snaps in.

all is explained in the user manual
if you have just put food in the even and pressed the start several times to get a number of minutes to cook but want to increase that time just press start again the number of times that you want the cook time to increase
for example :-
you put a frozen pie in the oven and your start operates in 30 second increments and you have pushed it 3 times and it starts cooking-BUT - you read the cooking instructions and it says cook for 4 minutes, just press the start another 3 times while it is cooking
the new cook time will show on the display

Could it perhaps be the chicken fat burning?I take it you are using convection only and not microwave power because if you use microwave power and do not contain the fat in with the chicken, the fat will be heated to its flash point by the microwaves and smoke heavilly.Hope this explained it for you.

Search the internet for “roast chicken recipe for microwave”
Here is one just in case you don’t find one:Microwave Roast Chicken3 lbs. chicken1 tsp. salt4 tbsp. butter or margarine1 tsp. paprika InstructionsMelt butter in a custard cup in microwave. Mix paprika into melted butter. Wash chicken (reserve giblets, these are best cooked conventionally). Sprinkle inside of chicken with salt.

Place chicken breast side down on saucers. Brush with butter. Cover with waxed paper. Cook 12 minutes. Remove wax paper or saran warp from legs, tail, and wings. Turn chicken breast side up and brush with butter. Cover with wax paper and cook 12 minutes more or until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees (temperature will increase to 195 degrees during standing).

DO NOT USE MEAT THERMOMETER IN OVEN WHEN COOKING!! Remove chicken from oven; cover with aluminum foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Note: For other weights of chicken, allow 8 minutes cooking time per pound.
